    Another job for JB weld???

    if it was mine and if patching was what I decided: drain all gear oil. If you have access to a compressor and a siphon nozzle, use alcohol or acetone to spray into or clean the crack. Doesn't take much. That'll help the jb weld hold. Then use a shop vac to help pull in the jb weld. It just takes...

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    when I was in fresh water, no paint. Now I'm in the upper Chesapeake, brackish, I've seen a pontoon unpainted that was covered in barnacles. Talk about looking horrible and slowing a boat down, that would do it. not arguing, it's a choice.

Would it fit?, maybe. You're talking just 002" larger minimal, which might be forceable but might deform it...

    Trailer wheel bearings - standard or stainless

    my trailer uses the same bearing size. I have Timkens on mine....but I thought all bearings were SS. Regardless, I've been happy with my tandem and in brackish water.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    interesting comment about bottom paint. I did my pontoon after seeing pontoons that operate on the chesapeake without paint. What a mess. And a lift cost vs me repainting every two years doesn't work. but curious why someone wouldn't buy a boat that's been bottom painted.

    2025 - My Season By The Numbers

    that's interesting to read. How have you found operating on those great lakes with a pontoon? Is that a tri-toon? What diameter are your toons? Have you determined what water/wind conditions are your minimums in operating? What size prop (blades/diameter/pitch) are you running on that 115? I'll...

    Best diet to lose 20 lbs?

    "healthy" eating.....it's a conundrum. a personal choice based on one's knowledge and/or beliefs....and whats hanging around the waist. 🤔 Babies, kids....get cancer. Olders live into 90's, 100's and maybe they started every day with a shot of bourbon and a cigar. Livers as healthy as can be...
